New Players, Old Memories

We are in Arizona for the annual Spohr Family trip. We haven’t been here since right before Maddie passed away. It’s…weird. Maddie isn’t here, but Annie and my niece Michaela are. So many mixed emotions.

I have been remembering all the wonderful times we had here with Maddie two years ago, and I have watched this video of Maddie with her older cousins a dozen times. They SO adored each other. Her laugh makes me smile and tear up. I think this was one of the greatest nights of Maddie’s life.

Jenn says:

I can imagine you would have a lot of mix emotions. I also watch video’s of Maddie through tear filled eyes. I wish more than anything she was there with you all. I look at her pictures and I miss her so much. I know that probably sounds a little weird since I never had the pleasure of meeting her but b/c of you and Mike and your memories, video’s and pictures I don’t know how ANYONE can NOT love your little girls!!!

I know it’s difficult but do try to have a good time and know Maddie’s amazing spirit is RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!!

Kristen says:

Oh Heather, this is so precious. It makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. I can’t imagine how you feel. You can tell her big cousins love her so much, and I hope you can find some comfort in that. So great that you have these videos!

Elizabeth says:

This video made me smile and tear all at once. Her squeals are too cute and it looks like she was having such an amazing time with her big cousins. I’m sure Annie will have a great time as well with her big sister looking down on her the whole time!

She looks and sounds like she is having a ball. She should be here to show Annie the ropes.
Annie greatly resembles the little guy talking to you! Wow! A Spohr, for sure!
Blessings, and peace to you. I hope you are able to have a good time.

Chrissy says:

“Excuse me, Hedder?” “Acause she can talk!” and meanwhile Maddie’s all “yeah yeah, I love you too Spencer but seriously dude, help me UP!”
Sweet memories that I hope will help you have a good time with your Annie.
